Rare mutations of the FOXP2 transcription factor gene cause a monogenic syndrome
characterized by impaired speech development and linguistic deficits. Recent genomic …

Developmental speech and language disorders cover a wide range of childhood conditions
with overlapping but heterogeneous phenotypes and underlying etiologies. This …

Background Rare mutations affecting the FOXP2 transcription factor cause a monogenic
speech and language disorder. We hypothesized that neural pathways downstream of …

The goal of this technical report on childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) was to assemble
information about this challenging disorder that would be useful for caregivers, speech …

Language disorders are highly heritable and are influenced by complex interactions
between genetic and environmental factors. Despite more than twenty years of research, we …

We previously discovered that mutations of the human FOXP2 gene cause a monogenic
communication disorder, primarily characterized by difficulties in learning to make …

Purpose In this article, the authors address the hypothesis that the severe and persistent
speech disorder reported in persons with galactosemia meets contemporary diagnostic …

Rare disruptions of FOXP2 have been strongly implicated in deficits in language
development. Research over the past decade has suggested a role in the formation of …

Researchers are beginning to uncover the neurogenetic pathways that underlie our
unparalleled capacity for spoken language. Initial clues come from identification of genetic …

Mutations in FOXP2 cause developmental verbal dyspraxia (DVD), but only a few cases
have been described. We characterize 13 patients with DVD—5 with hemizygous paternal …
